what do you do in Cal?

thanks...not really fussed about working...I just like to jump...I worked for a bank the last 14 yrs...now I just want to enjoy myself
-
it's real. I go to school and jump. the objective is to make me employable to the skydiving industry. I get 200 jumps at pudding hill in 6 months and then I get sent to a dropzone to gain work experience for 3 months. after that it's up to me if I want to work in the industry

haha...fortunately I don't suffer from that much flatulence!!! Yeah, we're starting to pick up the pace here ...I jump everyday the weathers been good. Don't laugh but I'm actually in a diploma course in commercial skydiving
-
it sucks when I get it 5 - 10 times a day, 5 days a week...and theres nothing I can do
-
yeah...not too fond of the ride up either...I'm a big guy and we have one guy who always farts and it really stinks...makes me gag
-
got it...haven't jumped that yet. so far have only jumped the fletcher, cessna 182 and 206. and a helicopter. you're lucky with the twin otter. I hear it climbs pretty quick.

haha......what plane do you jump out off?
-
that's why we do it! you're not a wus.it's how awesome it is to be alive magnified when you're at the door and the pilot says "door! see you" awesome! truck all clean and only laundry left to do.
-
will do...sounds like a fun place......get back out there and have fun! I gotta go clean my truck now. Really nice chatting with you lets hook up again the next time we're online. see yous.

Undie hundie...it is tradition to jump in your underwear on your 100th jump. I jump in the south island of New Zealand in pudding hill. where do you jump Lisa?
-
Yeah, I had 3 more jumps the day of my mal and didn't think anything of it. I made sure I got on the next load available just to get back on the proverbial horse and was like you wooohoooing alll the way but when I had time, I had a bit of the "why am I doing this" thoughts later that evening but it didn't last and now I'm enjoying my jumps even more given the fact that I know I can do the right thing the next time it happens. trying to get 30 jumps done in the next 2 weeks so it won't be too cold for my undie hundie!

I'm still a newbie. I only have 70 jumps now. I had my 1st mal on jump 43. When it happened, the great ground training that I got just kicked in and there was no panic. It was surreal in fact. It was instant focus on the job at hand and I think that is survival instincts ingrained in all human beings. You should get back on the horse and trust yourself to do the job when it counts and have fun up there!
